Cravicky's definitions
A tan on the left arm of a police officer, that occurs from driving around for a lengthy period of time, with his left arm hanging out the window. During the summer months, police officers wear short sleeved shirts. But because they spend most of their time in the cruiser, only their left arm gets tanned from the sleeve down to their fingers. The word, "copper" is derived from the nickname given to police, because their badges were made of copper. That term was then abbreviated to "cop".
This is similar to a farmer's tan; in which both arms are effected.

Woman at the beach: Sir! Can you help me? You're a cop, right? Somebody just stole the wallet out of my shoes!!
Man: Sure, I'll be happy to help. But I'm not even in uniform. I'm only wearing swimming trunks. How did you know I was a police officer?
Woman: That's easy! Because you have a copper tan! Oh...and because your beach towel, duffel bag, beach umbrella, and beach chair all have "Police" written in huge letters...and you have a badge pinned to your chest. That must hurt.
Man: It does.

"This vacuum doesn't suck!! Here's the problem! There's a hole in the hose. Instead of returning it, I'll just lemon-rig it with duct tape."
"That's a brand new car!! Are you seriously going to lemon-rig it with red fingernail polish instead of sending it back for a paint job?"
"...But I just bought these chairs and they are scratching up my floors! The end caps are cheap! The metal is poking through! I don't want to waste time sending them back; besides, I love these chairs and we have a party in two days! I'll go to the hardware store and buy some decent end caps. Why waste time when I can just lemon-rig it?"

Get the Line Dancermug. Pick Up To Pass Up Time
Applies to Apple IPod touch, iPhone, iPad, or similar devices that enable game applications. This specifically applies to apps that pass time; such as waiting in the grocery line or doctor office where you don't want to play a game that requires intense concentration or large blocks of time necessary to reach a goal.
Examples of such games are: Pocket God; Koi Pond; Pet Simulation games; Sims; Doodle Jump
These apps are fun to play, but do not keep scores. When you reach the cashier or are called back to the examining room, you can close the app without losing your place or sacrificing points.

Pocket God is a great PUTPUT game to play while waiting for the red light to turn green. I can quickly toss my iPod aside until I get home, so I can concentrate on driving without losing any points.

Get the PUTPUTmug. Also, Crevice Cut; a cut on your tongue or lip from candy canes, lollipops, and hard candy that developed a thin sharp crevice. The crevice is created by natural holes in the candy that is developed in the cooking process, then thinned out by sucking the candy until there is a partial opening into the hole that tapers into a "v" shape. The tongue, usually a tastebud, slides into the crevice, then upward into the razor sharp edges. This usually causes your tongue to bleed all over your candy, leaving a sweet metallic taste in your mouth.
This candy is so delici....OW!...blast it! I just got a candy crevice cut, and now my tongue is bleeding!!"
"Hey dude! Enjoying that lollipop? Because a candy crevice cut has turned your lemon lollipop red! Ha!"
"I'm not eating another candy cane any time soon! I'm still recovering from a candy crevice cut from the last candy cane I ate! It took out an entire taste bud!"

I was born left-handed, but my kindergarten teacher forced me to be transdextrous. Now I write with my right hand.
Is it considered transdextrous if I change back to my left hand, after my kindergarten teacher forced me to write with my right hand?
Professionals in the field of psychiatry are still trying to determine how much effect , if any, transdexterity has on the brain.
